I can recommend this short walk for people who like to take a relaxed walk. Nevertheless, you get an impression of Crete's wild nature with many beautiful, wide views. A great, relaxed walk without much elevation gain, once around the mountain in a circle, with changing views of Psiloritis, Kedros, Melambes, Mesara, Komos Beach and much more.

A fairly easy route around the mountain with only slight inclines. Great views all around with a view of the sea. At times you have to expect strong winds and annoying flies...
